Trumpeter swan Grace (right) does a wing flap display moments after meeting the yet-to-be-named male swan.
A swan love story: will Grace get her groove back? By Susan Berger, Sunriver Scene It’s a love story suitable for a Hallmark movie. Boy meets girl… boy/girl initially don’t like each other… boy/girl eventually fall in love and raise several beautiful babies. Tragedy strikes when the boy is shot and dies under suspicious circumstances. Following an investigation, a suspect is found and jailed. The grief-stricken girl
pines for her lost love. But, this isn’t a Hallmark movie. This is a real-life chapter in the story of Sunriver’s resident trumpeter swans Chuck and Grace – whose love story ended abruptly following Chuck’s death at the hands of an illegal hunter in 2017. Grace was now alone – her honks unanswered as they echoed across Lake Aspen and Sunriver’s surrounding
Sunriver celebrates 39 years as a Tree City The Arbor Day Foundation has honored Sunriver as a Tree City USA for its commitment to community forest management. This is the 39th year Sunriver has received this national recognition. Of the 63 (2018) communities in Oregon to receive this award, Sunriver is the only unincorporated community The award criteria as set by the Arbor included due to Sunriver’s very early Day Foundation includes spending a involvement before unincorporated certain minimum dollar amount per communities became ineligible for the award.

waterways. The lonely swan spent many of her days on the deck of a nearby condo, often staring and mournfully honking at her own reflection in a sliding glass door. Luckily, Sunriver’s swan story continues and may result in a happier ending after a male swan was brought in from another bird sanctuary and released in Lake Aspen on May 13. Read more about the story on page 8.

North Pool renovation Additional information about the North Pool renovation will be included in the voter information packet. The packet, being sent to owners in July, will include frequently asked questions, the conceptual drawings, explanation of project funding, statement from the board and pro/con statements (if provided by owners). Based on owner input, the final plan will include two pools – a leisure pool with lap lanes and family leisure pool. Construction will include a new mechanical room and welcome center and additional grass and
shade areas. The existing locker rooms will remain. The North Pool renovation project will require a 60 percent approval of the returned ballots to move forward. The ballot language is as follows: “Pursuant to Sections 7.04 and 7.08 of the Consolidated Plan of Sunriver, I authorize the Sunriver Owners Association to use Maintenance and Reserve Funds for the maintenance, repair, restoration and construction of the North Pool Complex located on West Core Road in Sunriver as described in the Voters Information Pamphlet. Funding for this project (including contingencies) shall not exceed the bid award amount of $5,870,000. No special assessments from owners shall be required to fund said improvements.” The project will not require an owner assessment and will be funded out of the reserves. If approved, the renovation project will take care of the North Pool’s failing infrastructure, needed upgrades and provide an overall facelift to this owner-only amenity that owners, such as yourself, can be proud of and serve as a cornerstone amenity for many years to come. Construction work would commence this fall and be completed early next summer.
Windstorm cleanup ongoing The January windstorm left close to 2,000 trees down on commons and private property throughout the Sunriver community. Both SROA Public Works and a contract crew have worked non-stop since that time cleaning up the debris left behind. “This is a long-term project,” said Patti Gentiluomo, SROA Natural Resources Director. “It’s likely we’ll still be cleaning up by the end of this year.” At this time, crews are only concentrating on removing limbs and treetops to mitigate any potential fire hazard. Logs and root balls will remain through the summer. Some logs may also be left on commons for restoration and/or wildlife habitat. “A downed tree or standing snag on commons can be repurposed as valuable habitat for wildlife,” said Gentiluomo.

So, what’s in a name? Recently, I read in some communication in which our association was referred to as “SRHOA.” I assumed it was an acronym for Sunriver Home Owners Association. I’m pretty sure that they were referring to SROA. My first reaction was “so what’s the big deal?” But the more I thought about it, I realized that by Bob Nelson regarding our association as a homeowner association (HOA), we do a disservice to a significant number of our constituents. SROA membership includes not just homes but also a significant number of other entities. Some of the entities to which I refer to include: Sunriver Resort and Sage Springs, several privatelyowned airport hangars, Rediscover Sunriver Village, Two Country Mall, Sunriver Fitness and Aquatics, Mountain Resort Properties, Marketplace, High Desert Family Medical, First Interstate Bank, Hola restaurant and Sunriver Realty/Starbucks (there are others too numerous to list here). There are also 21 sub-associations that fall under SROA as the master association. All these entities, as a condition of association membership, collectively paid $205,765.49 to SROA this year. As nonprofits, the Sunriver Nature Center & Observatory and two church facilities are exempt from monthly maintenance fees but are required to pay any special assessments. While not “homes” – all of these entities are still very much a part of our association and contribute significant financial resources to support SROA. They also provide a wide variety of valuable goods and services to those of us who do own homes in Sunriver. We are fortunate to have them as members of the Sunriver
Owners Association. But this is not the only thing that distinguishes SROA from other owner associations. I recall a discussion I had with a friend who was on the board of his local HOA. He shared with me the things that the board was responsible for and the travails of being a board member. He identified things like maintaining common areas, enforcing CC&Rs and having quarterly meetings (only if there was a quorum present). As he continued to lament the onerous board tasks I just sat quietly with him – feeling an increasingly widening grin on my face. Oh, I wish it were just that easy. Sheer size is one thing that distinguishes SROA from other owner associations. SROA is one of the largest owner associations in Oregon. There are just short of 4,200 individual unit owners located throughout our 3,300 acres of property. We have 65 miles of roads and 34 miles of paved bike paths. We have a large array of amenities such as community aquatic facilities including an event space and recreation complex, numerous tennis and pickleball courts, large and small parks, river access and a boat launch. Sunriver is fortunate to have two challenging golf courses owned and operated by Sunriver Resort. Our total operating budget is $11.4 million dollars. We recently learned that we are rated as the third largest employer in the Sunriver and La Pine area with 165 employees at the height of our busy season. We have a large public works department that maintains our common areas and facilities. We have a large fleet of heavy and specialized equipment to provide such vital services as seasonal snow plowing, road sanding and road and pathway repairs. Complexity is another factor that sets us apart from other associations. In many ways we function as a municipality. In fact, if Sunriver was a town, it would be larger than over half of the incorporated towns and
cities in Oregon. We have on-site fire, police and emergency medical services provided by the Sunriver Service District which, by the way, are serviced by SROA’s mechanics and administrative staff. As we have grown we find that we are increasingly involved in many intergovernmental relationships. We routinely meet with Deschutes County government officials and staff. In the last year alone, we were actively engaged with agencies such as the U.S. Forest Service, ODOT, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, Oregon DEQ, Oregon Department of Forestry, Oregon Public Utility Commission and the Land Use Board of Appeals. Lastly, we are a residential and resort community. On any given Summer weekend, we may have 20,000 vacationers in Sunriver. About 40 percent of our owners rent their homes. More than 85 percent of our owners are non-residents. According to SROA’s 2017 owner survey results, about 30 percent of our owners are 55-64 years old, 36 percent are 65-74 years old and 15 percent are 75 and older. In terms of non-resident owners, 64 percent live in Oregon, 15 percent live in California, 17 percent live in Washington and 5 percent live in another state or country. Lastly, 74 percent have no plans to make Sunriver their primary residence. Clearly, one size doesn’t fit all. We are not like many gated communities where socializing is a high priority. Our owners have diverse interests, beliefs, values and priorities. And Sunriver is not unlike some other resort communities in the West where there is a degree of disagreement between permanent owners and nonresident owners – usually about allocation of resources and how best to plan for a community’s future. Of great benefit to SROA is the power and influence that comes from our mission. T M,

Summer Safety Workshop As a first step in promoting WRN messaging, the National Weather Service, in partnership with safety officials from the Sunriver Service District and Deschutes County, will hold a Summer Safety Workshop on Tuesday, June 11 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at Pringle Hall at SHARC. The event will include Marc Austin, Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Pendleton, Sunriver Fire Chief Tim Moor, Sunriver Police Chief Cory Darling and Nathan Garibay, Emergency Manager for Deschutes County.
This gathering will highlight common summer weather hazards in Central Oregon and provide useful safety information to Sunriver's area residents and many visitors. Anyone who lives, works or recreates in the greater Sunriver area is welcome to attend this free event, registration is required. While most days are calm and quiet, summer is a time when weather can be quite volatile. Warm days often trigger thunderstorms along and near the mountains each afternoon. Lightning, hail and strong winds are common in these storms, and with enough rain, flash flooding can also occur. During the peak of summer, days of hot and dry weather can promote favorable conditions
SROA ladder fuels roadside pickup program details While much of the material generated from Ladder Fuels Reduction (LFR) work on commons remains in its area of origin (as ground cover, animal habitat, etc.) or is repurposed as firewood for owners to collect, many owners in Sunriver wonder what to do with the material resulting from LFR work on their on private property. The answer depends on who performed the LFR work: Owners using contractors or contractors doing LFR work on private property are responsible for disposal of all debris they create. Such material must be removed and disposed of or processed outside of Sunriver. However, owners who perform their own LFR work on their property may take advantage of SROA Public Works Department’s annual ladder fuels roadside pickup program. This
program is available exclusively for owners who have done LFR work independently on their properties and seek assistance with debris removal. Generally beginning in April and extending through October (weather and schedule permitting), Public Works crews collect LFR materials during the first week of each month. Again, weather conditions and other Public Works priorities or assignments may affect this schedule. How long it takes crews to reach your particular lane also depends on the amount of materials to be collected throughout Sunriver. Public Works T LFR,
for wildfires, which can char thousands of acres in a matter of hours. While these threats don't occur every day, it's important to know how to respond when they do. What do you do if you're two miles into a hike and a storm develops nearby? What if you're camping along the Deschutes when a flash flood warning is issued? What actions should you take when a wildfire threatens? This workshop will provide answers to each of these questions and more. Registration by June 5 is required as seating is limited.

Animals subjects shine in Betty Gray Gallery exhibit By Billye Turner Sunriver Resort Lodge Betty Gray Gallery continues to exhibit paintings by Jean Requa Lubin, Vivian Olsen and Barbara Slater through June 26. Oil painter Barbara Slater “loved to draw and paint” as a child. She notes, “I would carefully draw my composition and, when it was just right, I would add lots of color.” Her parents became her greatest advocates, certain that “I would achieve something with my art. I was enrolled in the ‘Famous Artist Course’ for children, painting art for critique.” Spending time with the calves on her grandfather’s Utah farm, animals became one of her favorite subjects. She began to paint these beloved subjects – calves, sheep and goats – in earnest in 2008.
During this period, colorful roosters soon joined her menagerie. Then, on another farm visit, she encountered a day-old colt. Flooded with childhood memories of its smell and soft coat, she was compelled to paint the tiny creature. Thus began the artist’s committed pursuit of painting Herefords, horses, iconographic sheep and endearing rabbits – all from her irresistible urge to capture a portrait of each animal’s personality. Now, she has added a new subject in her exhibit at Sunriver Resort Lodge – favorite dogs. Her dogs appear in wellused pickup trucks, some joyfully greeting their returning “people.” Others wait, with backs to the viewer, looking out windows, longing for loved ones.
‘Wood Ducks’ by Vivian Olsen (left) and ‘Goin’ to Town’ by Barbara Slater (right).
Slater notes, “There’s something endearing about seeing dogs in trucks and car cabs. Their faces so often seem to have a happy expression… as though saying ‘I’m going somewhere fun.’ I continue to be inspired by these dogs… they seem to have a unique sense and patience when left behind to wait for the return of a dear friend.” Joining the exhibit, frequent award-winner in equine art,
Jean Requa Lubin presents oils including the image “Two Sleepy Horses.” The artist describes her good fortune in capturing the scene. “Just as we rounded the turn in the road, there was a hillside pasture on our left with the two, dozing ‘paint horses,’ and to complete the picture, there was a chattering scrub jay on the fence post just in front of them.” She recalls, “It was a delight to capture this perfect, pastoral scene in oil paint.” The exhibit also features watercolor works by Vivian Olsen, including one titled “Wood Ducks.” “My background in biology and wildlife fueled my desire to become a wildlife artist,” said Olsen. Achieving her goal, Olsen notes that her “Wood Ducks”
was inspired “by this little guy showing up with the ducks at Cline Falls State Park. He was there every morning for three weeks – his beautiful colors and tiny shape were outstanding. He feistily held his own among the big mallards. Ducks are a favorite subject for me since studying and working with them on the South Dakota prairie wetlands years ago.” Thus, three talented and recognized artists join in sharing their delight in animals, wild and domesticated, in the current Sunriver Resort Lodge exhibit through June 26.

Sunriver Resort, SROA earn spots in EDCO’s top employers list Economic Development for Central Oregon (EDCO) is pleased to announce the 2019 Largest Central Oregon Employers, complete with breakouts of the top public and private regional employers in each Central Oregon community. This data, collected by EDCO annually for the past 20 years, is the most comprehensive major employer list in Central Oregon. This year, the top 50 private companies collectively employ more than 21,000 Central Oregonians, or roughly 21.5 percent of the region’s current total employment of 99,400 as of Q1 2019. St. Charles Health System tops the list again, employing over 4,400 people region-wide.
For the south Deschutes County list, the Sunriver Owners Association came in third at 165 employees behind La Pine/Sunriver schools (239) and Sunriver Resort (1,000). Last year the association was second as La Pine/Sunriver schools had not reported its employee numbers to EDCO. According to Damon Runberg, Regional Economist at the Oregon Employment Department, 78 percent of Oregon establishments had nine or fewer employees and the average private establishment employed 11 people in 2018. EDCO often fields requests about the employment base and largest private employers from both traded-sector

From Michigan to Oregon: a swan match made on Lake Aspen By Amanda Accamando, Sunriver Nature Center Manager On the afternoon of May 13, Sunriver welcomed its newest resident – a male trumpeter swan. The swan was released onto Lake Aspen from the Sunriver Nature Center under the watchful eyes of a biologist from the Trumpeter Swan Society and a team of caretakers from the nature center. Another onlooker was also most interested in the events taking place – resident female trumpeter swan, Grace. Grace has swum solo on Lake
Aspen since the winter of 2017 when her mate, Chuck, was illegally shot and killed. We were all saddened when the pair, who typically mate for life and had successfully raised six cygnets together, was instantly broken apart. Since that time, the nature center has been searching tirelessly for a new mate that would be a good match for Grace. That task turned out to be challenging for a number of reasons, including a lack of adult bachelor males in the trumpeter swan population nationwide. Dozens of phone calls and emails to zoos, commercial

Grace, right, and the new swan greet each other with wing flapping and head bobs shortly after meeting for the first time.
and private swan breeders, state agencies, and waterfowl conservancies yielded few leads. The tide turned with one critical phone call from Michigan in March. After seeing an update in The Bulletin and on Facebook about the nature center’s search for a mate, Sara Depew-Bäby, animal caretaker at W.K. Kellogg Biological Station Bird Sanctuary in Augusta, Michigan, reached
out to the nature center. She had been caring for an adult male swan for a few months after it was brought to the sanctuary to recover from a wing injury. The male swan still had his full wing, but was unable to fly. After discussion between DePew-Bäby, Gary Ivey of the Trumpeter Swan Society, and the nature center team, it was agreed that the male could likely thrive on Lake Aspen and provide a good
match for Grace. The release and introductory meeting between Grace and the new male swan took place on a windy but warm Monday afternoon. Prior to that day, Grace had been spending a lot of time on the patio of a Quelah Condo gazing at her reflection in the sliding glass doors. However, when the gate of the over-sized dog kennel holding the new male swan was gently opened, Grace immediately took notice and started trumpeting. The new male made his way from the kennel into the lake and glided toward Grace, who greeted the male stranger with head bobs. As the male got closer, he reciprocated the greeting with a wing display and a quick nip to Grace’s wings in a display of dominance. With the initial introduction over, Grace led the new male on a tour of Lake Aspen, swimming together around the lake and eventually retreating onto the island in the early evening. T S,

Lecture to discuss how pesticides affect bees and birds The green revolution of the mid-20th century spurred large-scale production and use of pesticides, but the unintended consequences of those pesticides were damaging and far reaching in the environment. Learn more during a lecture – Bird, Bees and Pesticides: A Historical Review – taking place at the Sunriver Nature Center on Wednesday, June 26 at 6:30 p.m. For more than 30 years, Dr. Anne Fairbrother DVM, PhD, has led research in the fields of ecotoxicology, wildlife toxicology and ecological risk assessment, serving as a research scientist at the EPA, and most recently as a Principal Scientist in Exponent’s Ecological Sciences practices and as an adjunct professor at OSU, Department of Environmental and Molecular Toxicology.

Flagging, paint on trees in Sunriver SROA NEWS – It’s that time of year when the Sunriver Owners Association (SROA) fields phone calls and questions about colored flagging and/or paint slashes on shrubs and trees around the community. SROA's Natural Resources department staff has marked trees with green paint for this year’s ladder fuels reduction (LFR) project, which will likely start in June. Pink ribbon has also been used to mark general property lines. The targeted LFR area is approximately 134 acres along the east side of Sunriver from the main entrance to Cottonwood Road. A LFR treatment area map can be viewed online at www.sun riverowners.org under News & Notices. Colored ribbons and paint are used for a variety of projects throughout the year – on private and common property – to easily identify the location of certain trees, thinning projects, noxious weeds and general property lines. SROA asks that the ribbons or flags not be removed. When a project is complete, they will be removed by staff. If you have a question about a particular marking or ribbon/flag, contact SROA’s Natural Resources Department at 541-593-1522. Here’s a list of what each color represents:

Help the Second Tern solve a mystery By Wes Perrin A good mystery has long fascinated all ages, and a dandy example of this is now to be found at Second Tern Thrift Store. Without a word of explanation a donation of eight elegantly decorated hook-shaped pieces has arrived to baffle even veteran Tern volunteers. There is not a single identifying mark to be seen; no name of the maker, no country of origin, no branding. They are only 5 inches from top to bottom and made of a thin metallic substance which might or might not be pewter. When lightly buffed the hooks shine enough to make the polisher wonder if they might be sterling silver. Obviously they were intended to be hanging something, but what is the question. It couldn’t be too heavy because the hooks are almost delicate. Then, too, why the need for a set of eight pieces? The identical artistic design stamped on each piece has been described by various viewers as Scandinavian, Pennsylvania
Observatory
Dutch, Spanish and Eastern European, but no one yet has been able to make an authentic identification. Stymied, the Tern is asking Scene readers for help by taking a look at the photograph and then coming up with the answers to solve the mystery. The first person who can come forth with the evidence to prove the real identity of these eight lonely hooks will receive a $10 gift card for the Tern. Plus, he or she will achieve minor celebrity status by being recognized in the next edition of the Scene. In accompanying news, the Tern has announced that Susan Ertsgaard, who has served as volunteer coordinator for the past seven months, will be elevated to store manager. T T,

ber, even as a child. It is one of the events in my life that made science and space exploration a cornerstone of my life. Now, here at the Oregon Observatory, we are excitied to offer special programs celebrating this remarkable human accomplishment. It’s impossible to tell the story of Apollo 11, without a sense of unity, patriotism and what it is to be a human on earth. Join us for our special peek into history, with a look at what it took to get us there and what has happened since. We will also look at the future of mankind returning to the moon. It is hard to argue that landing on the moon 50 years ago is one of the crowning achievements of the human species. We have some great activities and new programs for the summer ahead. I am excited to see the weather improve, and have the observatory open more days. The observatory staff looks forward to helping our visitors explore the Milky Way this summer with our many fine telescopes. Jupiter will be our prime target at the beginning of the summer. Star clusters, nebulae and binary stars will also be major objects in the night sky, producing the gratifying "oohs" and "oh, wow"
exclamations from our guests looking through the scopes. Check out our web page at www.oregonobservatory.org

Fly Tying Corner: Cates Turkey By Phil Fischer I recently returned from fishing an eastern Oregon high desert lake with the Sunriver Anglers. The weather out east was markedly different from Sunriver, as spring had arrived in earnest. No frost at night, and warmer. That meant that aquatic insects would be active and the trout would be hungry. A friend had recommended tying an old standby pattern for this trip, the Cates Turkey. I was familiar with this fly as a very good imitation for callibaetis nymphs. So, in advance of this trip I tied up a dozen. The first morning I pulled a Cates Turkey from my box and tied the fly on to my leader and cast to a likely spot on this small lake. Moments later, the indicator went down, and I quickly and firmly reacted to the strike, and promptly broke off a nice rainbow. It was a rookie mistake, or possibly caused by the exuberance of fishing again after a long winter. However, through the rest of that day, I softened my hook set substantially and caught numerous nice rainbows on the Cates Turkey fly
pattern, including a 24-inch rainbow. The Cates Turkey is a fly that has been around for a long time. For this month’s column, I adapted the pattern slightly to Euro style. By Euro style, I mean the fly is tied in a fashion that would make it suitable for Euro style indicator-less fishing in streams. The original Cates Turkey pattern is a sparse tie that was designed for fishing callibaetis nymphs in Lake Davis in the 1960s. I made three modifications to the original pattern: the hook, the bead and the tail and throat material. For my version of this timeless pattern, I used a barbless competition jig hook that is paired with a copper colored slotted tungsten bead. The jig hook fishes inverted, and results more hook-ups in the fish’s upper jaw, where the odds of landing the fish are greater. And because the hook is barbless, it enables a very quick release. The bead helps the fly get down quickly to fish in the right zone, an advantage when fishing lakes under an indicator. The final modification

was to substitute Coq De Leon for the tail, from lemon wood duck. I like the coloration of Coq De Leon for callibaetis. I also eliminated the lemon wood duck throat on the fly, as it didn’t fit with the inverted nature of the jig hook. The fish didn’t seem to care about these changes to the pattern, as they willingly inhaled it throughout the day. Try this easy-to-tie pattern during summer callibaetis time on a favorite local lake. Or fish it using euro-style nymphing techniques to imitate Pale Morning Dun nymphs or other small mayfly nymphs on your favorite stream, like the Crooked River or Upper Deschutes.

Learn about Utah Cutthroat Slam By Tim Mertins This month’s topic to be covered at the Sunriver Anglers Club meeting at SHARC on Thursday, June 20 at 7 p.m. will be all about the Utah Cutthroat Slam. To learn about the Cutthroat Slam, join us when Gary Lewis explains his experiences on what it takes to accomplish catching four subspecies of cutthroat trout: the Colorado, the Bonneville, the Bear River and the Yellowstone – all from four different watersheds. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Lewis makes his home in Central Oregon with his wife and three daughters who follow Lewis in his love for the outdoors. He is an award-winning writer, speaker,
photographer, humor columnist and host of the TV show Frontier Unlimited. He has fished and hunted in countries all over the world as well as throughout the United States. You don’t want to miss this exciting event. The Sunriver Anglers Club invites everyone, members and non-members, to attend this presentation. The program starts at 7 p.m. Many club members start arriving at 6:45 to buy raffle tickets and share with others how that “big one” got away.

Land managers and public health officials have come together to develop two new tools that will provide Central Oregonians with a one-stop shop fire information resource. Central Oregon Fire (www.cen traloregonfire.org) offers up to date information on prescribed fire and wildfire locations, smoke impacts, and health resources. Also, you sign up for text alerts about prescribed fire by texting “cofire” to 888777. Living in a fire adapted ecosystem means Central Oregonians have a season for wildfire and another for prescribed fire. Residents will see prescribed burns around Central Oregon in preparation for fire season and to create a healthier forest. Prescribed burning is primarily done in the spring and fall. Whenever fire is used deliber-
ately as a tool to improve the health of the forest and increase community and firefighter safety, it requires careful planning and is conducted under specific conditions of temperature, wind and humidity. This ensures land managers accomplish the desired ecological outcomes and the fire can be safely controlled, all while reducing the likelihood that heavy amounts of smoke will blow into nearby communities. Prescribed fire, when used strategically and repeatedly across larger areas, helps sustain healthy forest ecosystems, reduces the risk of out-of-control fires, reduces the severity of future wildfires when they do occur, and keeps our communities and firefighters safer. With the implementation of prescribed burning, some com-
munities in Central Oregon will have short duration smoke events. Many factors influence a person’s sensitivity to smoke, including severity and duration of smoke exposure and a person’s health. Your health and the health of your family are important. There are things you can do to minimize the impacts of smoke on you and your family; such as, limit your exposure, stay hydrated and close windows during periods of smoke and at night when prescribed burns are planned to prevent smoke from getting inside. For more information on prescribed burning, smoke and your health, interactive maps and wildfire information, visit www.centraloregonfire.org or text “cofire” to 888777 to receive text alerts.

SRWC awards to south county nonprofits Through year-long fundraising efforts the Sunriver Women’s Club (SRWC) raised $50,000 to award in their small grant program.

River shuttle service for SROA members SROA NEWS – Thanks to a partnership between Sunriver Resort and Sunriver Owners Association, owners may still enjoy a leisurely float on the Deschutes River from the SROA boat launch to the canoe takeout without having to worry about where to leave the car. For the fifth summer staff at the Resort’s Marina will provide free river shuttle services to SROA members who present their 2019 SROA Member Preference ID card. The shuttle service will be offered daily through Monday, Sept. 2. The program is only for owners and passengers in the owner’s watercraft. SROA Recreation Plus card holders can use the shuttle service for a fee. For those who enjoy a long float between the boat launch and the Canoe Takeout, owners are asked to plan their float time carefully as the last return shuttle leaves the Canoe Take-
out area at 5:30 p.m. SROA members may also take advantage of a drop-off service to Harper Bridge. Owners looking to do a quick float from Harper Bridge to the SROA boat launch also need to check in at the marina. This shuttle is for inflatables and tubes only. No hard-shell watercraft of any size can be transported to Harper Bridge. The Harper Bridge shuttle service is offered during the marina’s regular business hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Sept. 2 (last drop-off is 3 p.m.). The shuttle has limited capacity and is available on a first come, first served basis. PLEASE NOTE: Owners MUST check in and obtain a shuttle ticket at the Resort’s marina building prior to starting their float trip from the SROA launch. The ticket will need to be presented at the end of the float for transportation back to the marina. The shuttle will
only transport inflatables and personal watercraft less than 17 feet in length (no trailered boats, pontoons). Also, use of the Resort’s shuttle services beyond the Sept. 2 date range will be subject to the Resort’s standard pricing. The Sunriver Marina reserves the right to adjust the hours of shuttle operations to due weather or for private group events. For more information about the river shuttle service for Sunriver owners, call the Sunriver Resort Marina at 541-593-3492.

Rotarians deliver books to several local elementary schools
Last month, the Rotary Club of Sunriver-La Pine joined other Rotary clubs in Oregon in giving the excitement and love of reading to first graders through Rotary’s popular Gifts of Literacy program. This awardwinning program encourages a love of reading among young children. Local Rotarians delivered brand new books to three schools: Sunriver’s Three Rivers and La Pine’s Rosland and La Pine Elementary schools. Each student had the opportunity to pick out their favorite book to take home in a brand-new book bag. Helping deliver books were local Rotarians Cheri Martinen, Andrea Zechmann, Jami Steinhauer, Tim Broadbent, Jim Boen, Aaron Schofield, Bea Hatler, Phil and Barbara Murphy and Laurie Henberg. Rotarians hit the highway, again Twice a year, Rotary participates in the Adopt-A-Highway program run by the Oregon Department of Transporta-
tion (ODOT). The Rotarysupported section is between the two Highway 97 entrances to Sunriver (Exit 151 and Exit 153). While ODOT provides trash bags, reflective vests, safety awareness information and work area signs, members provide the labor. We salute the large work party that handled the May clean-up. If you want to help the next time, consider joining Rotary – even if you don’t live in the area year-round. Become a part-time Rotarian If you are an out-of-area Rotarian, make sure to “make up” at Sunriver. Just go to the Sunriver Lodge Hearth Room (main floor) at 7:15 a.m. any Wednesday. Interested in becoming a part-time Rotarian? The club is now offering a special option for people living part-time in the area. If you would be interested in this option, please contact Mark Dennett (Mark@dennettgroup. com) for more information and for an invitation to one of our breakfast meetings.

Classical music ‘in the wild’ Pianist Hunter Noack returns to Sunriver on an outdoor concert tour of Oregon, southern Washington and central California. Picture a 9-foot Steinway piano on a flatbed trailer at the edge of Sunriver’s Great Meadow, with the audience sitting in lawn chairs just off the second green of the Meadows Golf Course, horses munching grass against a backdrop of Mt. Bachelor, their tails swishing to Chopin’s Second Sonata. Noack brings that experience to Sunriver and will be back for the second annual concert with In A Landscape: Classical Music in the Wild (IAL). Hunter and the IAL team start off the 2019 concert tour in Central Oregon with concerts at Black Butte Ranch (Sisters), Cant Ranch (Dayville), High Desert Museum (Bend) and Sunriver
Resort. Thanks to a grant from Central Oregon Visitors Association, at least 10 of the 34 concerts in the IAL 2019 tour will be in Central Oregon. In addition to those mentioned above, Central Oregon concerts include Smith Rock State Park, PLAYA Arts & Science Residency, Fort Rock State Natural Area, Mt. Bachelor, Warm Springs Reservation and at three rural Central Oregon schools. Wanderlust Tours of Bend is partnering with IAL to create a two-day tour on private land in Summer Lake that will include hikes, natural interpretation, overnight camping and meals prepared by a gourmet chef. In April, Travel Oregon awarded IAL with the 2018 Oregon Tourism Development Award at the Oregon Governor’s Conference on Tourism for

“creation of an innovative program, promotion, or product that exemplifies best practices, sustainability and creative problem-solving.” “In A Landscape brings professional concerts to people in environments where they are comfortable. They can move around, eat, drink, fidget, and feel the wind on their face while hiking, riding their bike on the dried lakebed, or sitting in their favorite camp chair watching the sun set. Nature has its own power that only enhances the experience and people find out that they love classical music,”

said executive director Lori Noack. In A Landscape was founded by Hunter Noack who has an active international career as a classical pianist, tours as a special guest with the Portlandbased band Pink Martini, and regularly collaborates with Oregon Ballet Theatre and Northwest Dance Project. “This project brings together two things I love most: classical music and the great outdoors,” said Hunter Noack.

Permits
During the same time period, overnight use will be managed through a permit system at all 79 trailheads within the three wildernesses. Waldo Lake and Diamond Peak Wilderness areas will have no day use or overnight limits. For both day use and overnight use some permits will be available to reserve while others will be issued either as nextday or same-day permits. The permit system will balance the needs of visitors planning trips as well as visitor spontaneity. “We are proud to issue this decision to protect the character of these special places for future generations. We also recognize that conditions will change in the coming years and we
have included ways to adapt our management strategies to respond to unforeseen impacts and changing visitor patterns,” said John Allen, Forest Supervisor, Deschutes National Forest and Tracy Beck, Forest Supervisor, Willamette National Forest. Background: Both forests began public outreach for this project in the winter of 2016 after experiencing substantial increases in visitation between 2012 and 2016. During that time visitation to the Three Sisters Wilderness increased by more than 180 percent, with some trailheads experiencing increases between 300 and 500 percent. The draft environmental analysis was released on April 4, 2018 and through public meetings, phone calls, emails and letters several hundred

Paxton Deuel, a Bend-ite and coach of the Summit High School boy’s tennis team, will be bringing his passion and knowledge for junior development and sport specific fitness to our experienced team of coaches. Along with a few new faces we are also happy to have Jesse Vezo return for her fourth summer season as assistant pro.

From the upbeat and aerobic Fit to Hit, the strategy centered Doubles Skills, and bi-weekly social match-play mixers, there are lots of opportunities for adults to grow their game and have fun out on the court with players of similar levels. For our junior players we offer clinics and drills throughout the week that focus on cultivating an entertaining, positive experience for any player from ages 4 to 18.

Residents are urged to prepare for fire season in Central Oregon After a runaway burn pile threatened and evacuated a small subdivision in the north end of La Pine in early May, it’s safe to say fire season is officially here. Local and regional safety officials would like to take this opportunity to remind residents this is the time to prepare for fire evacuation if they have not already. Know your evacuation levels – Ready, Set, Go – and have your 5 Ps: People, Pets, Pills, Photos, Papers and your 72-hour kit ready to go at all times. In fact, all of Central Oregon is considered a Level 1 alert and should be ready to evacuate throughout the summer fire season. Make sure your 72-hour kit has at least the following items: flashlight with extra batteries, first aid kit, prescription pills, eyeglasses, any essential equipment for infants/elderly, water, sleeping bags, clothing for each family member, important documents and your 5Ps. Keep these things in a spot in your
home that is easily accessed so you can leave in a hurry. As the fire danger increases the local sheriff ’s office and their partner agencies want to ensure you understand the three level evacuation system and where to get current information regarding fire activity. Level 1: Be Ready There is an incident in your area and residents should be aware of potential evacuation. Be aware of the danger, monitor emergency services sources and local media for information. Those persons who will need additional time to exit an area or have health conditions (especially respiratory conditions that could be made worse by smoke) should consider leaving. You are encouraged to prepare or even move livestock and pets out of the area. Be prepared to leave if conditions worsen. Level 2: Get Set There is significant danger
SUNRIVER SCENE • JUNE 2019
in your area and residents should be prepared to leave at a moment’s notice. You are encouraged to leave and should do so as soon as possible. If you choose to stay, you should be able to leave immediately if conditions worsen. You MAY have time to gather necessary items, but doing so is at your own risk. Entry to evacuated areas may be denied until the hazard subsides. This may be the only notice you receive. Emergency services cannot guarantee we will be able to notify you if conditions rapidly deteriorate. Level 3: Go Now! There is immediate and imminent danger and you should evacuate immediately. DO NOT DELAY LEAVING to gather any belongings or make efforts to protect your home. Leave immediately and as quickly as possible. Drive carefully, turn on your headlights, and follow any direc-
ducted wildfire preparation and training; a new storage container was placed at the training facility and kicking off the academy for five new reserve firefighters. –Community events: Participated in emergency preparedness meetings and Project Ponderosa. –In April, there were 35 calls for the Sunriver Fire Department, which included 19 Rescue/EMS calls and one fire. Police –Administrative update: Eight bike patrol officers have been officially hired (one returning and seven new). –Training: Both chiefs and members of the SSD board attending a fire workshop in Redmond titled, “Could Central Oregon be the Next Paradise?” Staff attended a presentation on “Emotional Survival for Law Enforcement: A Guide for Officers and Their Families.” –Community events: Planning annual document shredding and prescription drug disposal event on June 1. –In April, the Sunriver Police Department received 518 calls for service, 28 of which were emergencies. Officers investigated 21 cases, made 6 arrests, 8 lost/found properties, conducted 137 traffic stops, provided 54 community-policing responses, there were 11 animal issues, 10 parking complaints and 1 violation of SROA Rules & Regulations.

Ponderosa restoration for the community: educating, inspiring and planting Earth month was a very busy and productive time for Project Ponderosa volunteers and students preparing for a very large, annual seedling-planting event. Work began in early April removing snow drifts from much of the nursery. The snow and cold temperatures are not a problem for these hardy seedlings, but elk are. The new fencing, donated and installed by Sunriver Water and Environmental at their compost site, now protects over $20,000 worth of seedlings in the Project Ponderosa nursery. The weekly work parties prepared for the 14th annual Pondo Potting Party by mak-

(COWS) training in early May just west of Sunriver. For years, COFIA and other agencies sponsored the training program that provided outstanding experience in wildland fire response skill building. The program was discontinued several years ago due to cost and staffing. COWS returned this year after collaboration between local fire departments throughout Central Oregon, the U.S. Forest Service and the Oregon Department of Forestry and through a grant from the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training. The training included 10 different fire agencies with nearly 100 firefighters receiving wildland fire training. Fourteen firefighters, engineers and captains from Sunriver Fire & Rescue participated in this year’s program. The incident commander, and one of the primary planners for the training, was Sunriver’s Deputy Chief Rod Bjorvik, a veteran of many of the COWS training events in past years.

day arrived in April with blue skies and warmer weather. More than 36 adults and parents came to support the students from Kacie Pitner’s and Steven Gleason’s classes for three hours. Working in pairs, students followed the 10 steps to successfully potting a seedling in composted soil. They repeated it dozens of times throughout the morning. Four members of the Sunriver Fire Department once again helped with timely, crucial watering of the newly potted seedlings and also participating in potting over 250 seedlings. First Interstate Bank, Sunriver Nature Center and Sunriver Resort brought teams of workers as well. These enthusiastic volunteers helped pot 1,500 seedlings – 500 more than ever before – all before noon. It was an amazing team effort and a wonderful gift to our Tree City community, the ecosystem and our planet. The potted seedlings will receive bi-weekly watering in the nursery to become acclimated and established for 1 to 4 years. They are tended by the Life Skills students and the nursery team volunteers who also

most structural fire agencies, must be all-hazard responders: from providing emergency medical services, to structural fire response, rescues, interface fire response (where wildland fire intersects with communities) and responding in mutual aid or task force assignments to wildland fires. This training provided Sunriver crews with a variety of training and skill refresher opportunities. It also allowed members of the department to complete the certification process for certain wildland fire assignments. Many of these certifications require live-fire exercises, such as COWS. Training focused on “real-life” response drills – such as an engine company from a structural agency (such as Sunriver) arriving on-scene first to a wildland or interface fire. The engine officer or “engine boss” must take decisive action to effectively attack the fire, manage resources and keep their crew safe. Upon arrival, a “size-up” of the fire is conducted which allows for an informed plan of the next steps the fire crew will take. It also provides the information necessary to determine what additional resources are

needed. Additional resources may simply be another engine, but can quickly grow, depending on size, rate of spread of the fire and potential threats to life and property. Our partnerships with all agencies, from structural neighbors to the U.S. Forest Service, Oregon Department of Forestry, COIDC and beyond are critical to the safe and effective response to wildfires near or far from Sunriver. The drill allowed firefighters the opportunity from different agencies to work side-by-side, understand the slight nuances of each department’s response and learn from some of the very best in our partnering federal and state agencies. Sunriver’s new Water Tender 231 also got into the action by supplying water for firefighting and tested the nozzles and spray systems in an actual live-fire scenario. The tender performed exceedingly well in spraying water directly on live fire and extinguishing fire along roadways and beyond. It was an excellent exercise that demonstrated one of its many uses for protecting Sunriver. As the two days of intensive training came to a close the overall consensus was the program was a success.

as the cattle died. His second try succeeded. Admonished by the Brits not to harm the cattle, they got on with the business of procreation and by 1830 Hawaii had approximately 20,000 cattle laying waste to the environment and threatening the populace (remember these were longhorns, not the most docile of cattle).

Did they ever pick the wrong guy! A former fighter pilot, Mitch is a dangerous guy to cross. • June 17 Fiction Book Club discusses “True North” by Jim Harrison, set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. David Burkett comes from a long line of men who made their wealth by ravaging the land, logging off thousands of acres leaving behind a moonscape of stumps. David’s father likes young girls, just arriving at their teens. Appalled by the way the family fortune was amassed and distraught over his father’s evil ways, David sets as his life’s work the task of disclosing the
way his family ruined the land. David is an avowed outdoorsman, he loves to hike, paddle and fish. Fly-fishing is an absolute passion. But the cloud of his family’s actions, the way his easy life came to be, and what they did to the places he loves, hangs like a shadow over him. He has difficulty trying to achieve a lasting, loving relationship with a woman. The female he gets along best with is his dog, Carla, his constant companion. Cynthia, David’s younger sister, solved any angst over her family’s misdeeds by turning her back on their society completely. She married the Native American gardener’s son, (a move certain to upset her parents) and made a good life for herself without the trappings of wealth.
• June 24 the Classics Book Club discusses a few stories from Ernest Hemingway’s “The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway.” Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Hemingway is a giant of American literature. “Two Hearted River” is set in the Upper Peninsula region of Michigan. Nick Adams is returning from war. He departs a train near Seney, finding the town burned out. He continues on his way and establishes a camp above the river, spending his days fishing. In this way, Nick is experiencing feelings from having been at war and the sense of dislocation in returning. “Indian Camp” has young Nick accompanying his father,
Dr. Adams, to help a Native American woman with a difficult birth. The story is a rite of passage for Nick, a young frightened boy who is made part of something terrible in the adult world. It also deals with racism and male attitudes of the time. “Up in Michigan” concerns a young inexperienced girl, Liz Coates, working at country café who develops a crush on the local blacksmith, Jim Gilmore. “The Three Day Blow” is set in a cabin on a rainy day where Nick and Bill converse and drink. The men speak of the breakup of Nick’s relationship with Marjorie, who is from an unsuitable family. Sunriver Books & Music is located in building 19 in The Village at Sunriver.

The Sunriver Women’s Golf Association (SWGA) has started its 2019 season and has enjoyed four play days already. As always, the group began the season with small numbers between four and six golfers. However, unlike most years, the weather has cooperated for some delightfully sunny, yet chilly rounds. During the first two playdays, no winners were awarded as a way to ease into the season after not playing for the winter. The official season began May 1 with Christi Alvarez winning low gross (84) and Helen Brown winning lot net (61). May 8 winners were Debbie Wightman and Helen Brown who tied for low gross; Sue Wassom took second low gross; Julie Sagalewicz first low net and Diane Wortsmann as second low net. Sue Wassom also earned the KP.
Several golfers participated in the first official play day for SWGA. Back row, left to right: Kathy Linville, Diane Wortsmann, Carol Woodruff, Marilyn Rivenburg and Julie Sagalewicz. Front row, left to right: Sue Wassom, Sue Braithwaite and Helen Brown.
The SWGA acknowledges with sadness the passing of Maryann Phillips on April 26 at the age of 89. Phillips was a member of the SWGA and a longtime resident of Sunriver before moving to Bend in 2016. She was a friend to many and an
avid golfer. If you are interested in joining the SWGA, please visit their website at www.swga1. simplesite.com or email Sue Wassom at dswassom@comcast. net for more information.

Resident authors book about elder care The number one mistake families make with senior care is waiting too long to get help. With the aging population rapidly growing, either you or someone you know is guaranteed to be affected. In her early thirties, Kelli Bradley began providing care for her mother who was diagnosed with diabetes and every other complication associated with the disease. Through her journey, Bradley found a missing link in senior care which she was determined to fix. That realization led her to open a leading in-home care agency specializing in alzheimer’s and dementia care. After two decades of working in senior care, Bradley still felt like there was a gap, and “The Devoted Daughter,” an online resource (https://thedevoted

Remember to keep your defensible space defined, keep grass and weeds cut low and always be prepared to respond to an emergency. With this in mind, Project Wildfire urges you to take a look around your property in the “home ignition zone” where glowing embers can ignite spot fires and vulnerable areas like decks, patios and woodpiles that can spread flames to your home. Visit www.sunriveremer gencyinfo.com for more information about how you can be prepared and prepare your property for wildfire season.
“Over the years I have learned my lessons the hard way and I share those lessons with you,” said Bradley. “ ‘Always Her Daughter’ is the resource I wish I had when I was caring for my family. I know your struggles, and I want to help you avoid the pitfalls of caregiving.” Bradley’s book is available through retail and online book sellers.

Sunriver HOA a male board
Firewood ‘woodchucks’ are alive and thriving in Sunriver How much wood would a woodchuck chuck? You may have seen the Sunriver Volunteer Firewood Project collection crew out and about since they came out of hibernation from the deep spring snows. Sponsored by the Sunriver Christian Fellowship, the Sunriver Volunteer Firewood Project (SVFP), is a reincarnation of the Care and Share operation that Carl Jansen and his crews put their hearts, saws and souls into over the past years. There are several ways the project helps the community. The collection and removal of trees is done for those who can’t do it themselves (for a requested donation) as it can be an expensive and labor-intensive process to keep a yard fireproof and tidy. The added benefit is that the wood and funds go to help others in need of heat and food assistance through the winter months. Every trip made to load firewood and clean up the limbs and debris from a downed tree helps make Sunriver more fire resistant, which has been a concern for all of us. SVFP operates under a band of volunteers and there are two key groups that are keeping very busy this year. There is an active collection crew and they have chucked a chunk of wood this spring thanks to the recent windstorm. They mainly pick up wood rounds on residential lots that are ready to split. When time and talent allows, they also work on trees that have fallen or need to be taken down by removing limbs and bucking trees into rounds to haul away. This crew works on a floating schedule as jobs come up throughout the week. John Salzer is crew boss for the splitting, which takes place at the woodchuck’s lot – located just outside Sunriver. With three splitters, nine volunteers are needed each time to keep them all going. Crews work on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings at the
lot from 8:30 to 11 a.m. Cords and cords of rounds are drying and will soon be ready for splitting. Volunteers are organized through an online program, “Sign Up Genius,” via email. Salzer can be reached at 541420-1931. You can also contact Mark McConnell via email to be added to the sign up list at mcconn@bendbroad band.com Soon, once the wood is split and well-cured for burning, the “woodchucks” will begin delivering and selling firewood before the coming winter. Once the pile is gone they will go into hibernation for a long needed rest and recuperation until they wake up hungry for the smell of sawdust and wood. Editor’s Note: A permit is required for tree and vegetation removal in Sunriver on private or common property. Contact SROA Natural Resources at 541-593-1522 for more information.

By Doug Hoschek, Sunriver How can it be out of 4200 homeowners only one woman is listed as a candidate for the 3 positions of the seven approved candidates only one is a woman. The interview ends with there are no losers.
Training
objectives of this critical training opportunity were met and, in many ways, exceeded. With the upcoming fire season and countless devastating fires throughout the country during the past few years, it is imperative that firefighters are afforded opportunities to hone their wildland firefighting skills with live fire drills such as this. The partnership and support that exists between federal, state and local agencies was evident throughout the drill and demonstrated a high level of preparedness for wildfire in Central Oregon.
T F,
Begging your pardon, there are losers. The entire community of Sunriver and dozens of businesses are the losers too. Every page of Sunriver realtors shows teams of women and partners of males and females sharing how they are selling real estate and Sunriver has grown in its 50th year anniversary. 50
year anniversary golden ones are rare in the marriage field these days. So where have all the women gone, as our generation song shares the words about flowers. Yes, there are losers in this one woman only election. A community built on Mother Nature.
